NO. 1304. REVISION OF AMERICAN GELECHIID MOTHS— BUSCK. 813 



have been present, unnoticed by Fitch, from which the moth came, 

 which he associated with the larva and mine, he had taken notes on 

 the previous fall. His description of the moth i.s not very satisfac- 

 tory, but there is no other species feeding- on Robinia but the present 

 of about the size he gives, and it is reasonably certain that this is the 

 species he had under consideration. 



Chambers's type of Slnm fuscopalUdeUa I have examined in the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology. It is in very poor condition, but 

 agrees well with the description as far as could be made out, and 

 shows positively that its generic characters are identical with those of 

 Evagora Clemens, and also that it is specifically identical with the 

 common Robinia-feeding species, which Chambers later described as 

 Gelechia robinlaifoUeUa, he himself suggesting that it was the same 

 species as previously described b}-^ him ?iii fmcojxdJ Idelht. 



A large bred series is in U. S. National Museum. 



The males have no hairpencil at base of hindwing.

 Recurvaria qnercivorella Busck, Dyar's List Amer. Lep., No. 5602, 1903. 



Zeller's two types (males) of gilvUcopeUa in the museum in Cam- 

 bridge are in perfect condition and show this species to be a much 

 larger and darker species than Clemens apieitrqjnnetella. Identical 

 specimens in large series are in U. S. National Museum. The type in 

 Cambridge of Chambers <piercivorella is in miserable condition, con- 

 sisting only of head with palpi, thorax, and one forewing. It is, how- 

 ever, undoubtedly a Recurvaria^ and I have no hesitancy, after careful 

 comparison with Zeller's types of g'dmhcopella, to determine it as the 

 same as this species, which is also an Oak-feeder. 



Chambers' name must take precedence.
